Supplement to the New England Spiders. 219 



epigynum has a large oval opening divided at the posterior end 

 into two. The hard brown part around the hole extends forward 

 on each side like a pair of horns turning toward each other at 

 the ends. 



The male palpi have a long process on the upper side of the 

 tibia that extends over the tarsus for a third of its length. It is 

 narrowed in the middle and obliquely truncated at the end. The 

 palpal organ is hard and brown, smooth around the base, and 

 divided at the end into a complicated group of processes, PI. IX, 

 fig. 2 a. 



Three Mile Island, Lake Winnipesaukee, N. H. 



Clubiona spiralis. (Plate X, figures 10, 10a, 10b, 10c.) 



6 mm. long, fourth leg, 9 mm. Larger than C. rubra and longer 

 legged, but resembling it in the short mandibles and the arrange- 

 ment of the eyes with the upper middle pair farther apart than 

 they are from the lateral eyes. The male palpi have a general 

 resemblance to those of rubra, but the double lateral process is 

 differently shaped, round at the base and with the tip sharp and 

 curved upward. The tarsus and palpal organ are more elongated 

 than in rubra, and the large black process more slender. The only 

 specimen found is pale, even to the mandibles. 

 Magnolia, Mass. 



Two females, one from Ipswich, Mass. and one from the Blue 

 Hills appear to belong to this species. They are the same size 

 and color and have the same eye arrangement, with the legs shorter 

 and stouter, us usual in females of this genus. The epigynum is 

 shown in Fig. 10c. It has a partly divided transverse opening 

 turned forward. 



Clubiona prematura, new. (Plate X, figures 7, 7 a, 7 b.) 



In N. E. Spiders of the Family Drassidae, etc. this species is con- 

 founded with C. ornata (Americana Bks.), on account of the distinct 

 dorsal markings of the female which until recently was the only 

 sex known. It is a little smaller than ornata, the cephalothorax of 

 the female being 2.2 mm. long, and the abdomen from 4 mm. when 

 filled with eggs, to 3 mm. after the eggs have been laid. The color 

 is pale, with the cephalothorax slightly darkened on the head and 

 mandibles. The abdomen has a pattern similar to that of ornata, 

 but less distinct. The arrangement of the eyes is similar to that 

 of ornata, the upper middle pair being only slightly farther apart 

 than they are from the lateral eyes. The shape of the border of
